I don't have Sprint and unfortunately still waiting on Verizon to get their head out of the sand, but seriously $350 isn't that bad, could be better, but isn't that bad. If you really think it is, wait until after the holiday's when all phone prices usually drop to keep sales up, otherwise open up the wallet and hand over the Benjamin's..
Speed...

No, I think the biggest part of the cost is the "International" part. I'm sure the redesign is a portion of the bigger cost, but making it an international phone is being forgotten in these threads about price.

Like others said its the screen and also the international capability. Also its only a $50 difference. tp1 was $299 after mail in rebate and tp2 is 349 after mail in rebate. if they lowered the price of the tp that is because of the tp2 has been released but the tp1 was 299 after mail in rebate, making only a $50 difference, where did you get $150 from?

i guess it makes since now with the international band and cdma. that part of the device slipt my thoughts. i still think its abit pricy. seeings not a major upgrade to a year old phone. it looks better and has a better screen. but for the money its not much of an upgrade from the tp1 or the diamond. unless u really need a dual band phone. i guess i was expectin the phone to be a bit cheeper. for someone with a tp or diamond who doesnt travel the world it doesnt of much of a reason to sign for two yrs and give up a health rebat. unless u gotta have that sweet wvga display. oh yeah and sorry bout the mispricing. i was excited and freaked. no harm intended. thanx to everyone who corrected my mistake.
